that the fearful sun-scorching of all
vegetation continues unmitigated ,and a
fierce fire is raging in the wood-marsh
southeast of Portage. Alarge amount
OF property is swept away and other
property is in danger. Not a drop of
rain has fallen, except S-100 OF an

FEARFUL SUFFERING.
Never before have the farmers and
residents of the suburbs about the city
suffered so from heat and dry weather.
All around the vegetables of the small
gardeners are killed and all along the
railroad tracks the prairies are on fire.
Residents of the suburbs are called
out at all hours of the day and night
to combat the flames. Water is very
scarce. Cisterns and wells are alike
empty, and the greatest economy of
the precious fluid is observed. Cattle
are suffering greatly at Washington
Heights, and water has been so scarce
that it finds a ready sale at five cents
per pailful.
FARM BUILDINGS DESTROYED.

Vice Chancellor Bird was engaged at
the State House in Trenton, last Wednes-
day, in hearing evidence in tho matter of
the injunction obtained against the city
of Lambsrtville by Bryan H. Taylor and
James s. Studdiford, with view to pre-
venting the execution of contract award
ed to the Pennsylvania Globe Gaslight
Company for lighting the city streets dur
ing the current year. The city had, pre-
vious TO February last, been lighted by
the Lambertville Gas Company for 81 &c }
year. In February Council gave the
contract to the Pennsylvania Company
for $1,517 year. Citizens considered
the change an extravaganza and hence
the present suit. They allege irregulari-
ties in the advertisement for bids and also
the fact that the gas company was ex-
cluded from putting in proposal. Judge
Stewart and G. A. Skillman are counsel
for the citizens, and L. II. Sergeant ap-
peared for the Council and Capt. Holt for

widespread interest has been tax en- in
the able interesting paper of Governor
Foraker, Of Ohio, contributed to the Au-
gust number of 1.-THE Forum" on the
vital question, ''The return Of the Repub-
lican Party in which the great issues of
the day are forcibly and cogently present
ed. The Governor writes like a reasoner
and Statesman, showing that the two inn
portant and overshadowing questions of
the day, from Republican and patriotic
standpoint, are the suppressed colored
vote of the South, and the protective tar
if, neither Of which can ever possibly
have proper treatment at the hauds Of
the reaetionary Democracy. One of the
most striking and convincing Of Cover
nor Foraker's arguments is when he
shows that Georgia cast only $4,000 votes
for ten Members of Congress, while the
number in Ohio, not more populous than
Georgia, was upon total vote of 300, 900
for ten Congressman. And upon this
basis he deducted the proposition that the
Solid South robbed Blaine and Logan of
thirty-eight electoral votes, defeating
them and fraudulently electing Governor
Cleveland. The Governor gives facts and
figures to prove the ruinous policy of free
trade, as it worked under Democratic
Administration in 1860 and prior thereto,
and the benefits derived subsequent to
that period from the distinotively Repub-
lioan doctrine of protection to American
industries and interests. We are by no
means alone in surmising that Ohio's
young Governor may develop into prom

A striking instance of labor saving ma.
chinery is that which makes tin cans.
One of the machines used in the process
soldiers the longitudinal seams of the
cans ut the rate of fifty a minute, the
cans rushing along in continuous
stream; Of course drop or two of SOL
der is left on the can. The drop on the
outside is easily wiped of, but it is not
so easy to secure the drop left on the in
side. An ingenious workman has pa
tented an arrangement for wiping the
inside of the can without stopping the
machinery. Result, several thousand
dollars in royalties in his own pocket
and saving of S 10 worth of solder per
day to the firm that uses it. Thirty
thousand cans is days work for this
machine.

LAMBERTvILLE, N. j., Aug. s, 1887.
From remarks made by. Councilman
Kearns, of the First Ward, at the meet
ing of City Council on the evening of
Aug. LIST, the impression has been formed
that the firemen of this Department had
manifested spirit of naturalization
when ordered out for inspection in the
early part of last year. In order to cor
rect any such impression, / can say that
such was not the case. The Department
was ordered out at the request of City
Council. On the afternoon of the day
upon which the inspection was to have
taken place, it rained very hard, thus
leaving the streets in very muddy con-
dition. Upon consultation with Chair.
man Sprcst and Councilman Larson, OF
the Fire Department Committee, it was
decided by them, that it was not fit to
have the men go out, and instead, recon-
mended that the inspection should be by
Company at each of the houses. The men
were notified and thorough inspection
was made by the Chief and his Assistants,
accompanied by number Of the Council
men and several citizens. The men were
there and willing to obey all orders then,
as they have ever been since the writer
has had the honor of being their COM
mander. Not being present at the meet
ing Of Council, / cannot report the Ian
guage of the Councilman, but merely wish
to correct any false impressions that may
have arisen therefrom. | claim it my
duty to defend the honor and fair name
of those who voluntarily give their time
aud money and labor so freely for the
public, in the extinguishment Of fires and
protection of life. AT home, such charges
need no refutation. Our citizens know
too well the value of the Department and
Its loyalty to proper authority, but there
must be some way to keep the good name
untarnished to those not residents of
our city, which is the object of this COM
munication.
Respectfully,
G. II. W. VAN Sewer, Chief.

The price of coal has been advanc /
20 cents per ton by the dealers in this
city. Some time ago the wholesale deal
ers advanced coal 10 cents per ton, and
more recently 10 cents moro was added
The price was not advanced by our deal
ers at the first rise in price, and they are
now only getting the profit that they
formerly received. They are just as
much at the mercy of the "coal syndi-
cate" as the consumers are. Before the
war coal sold here for $3.50 per ton--now
tits $3.50. This extra two dollars goes
into the pockets of the coal companies and
the railroads.&c. least, the miner gets no
more for his work now than then, and
the retailer claims that he has only the
same profit as before the great advance.
1t paid the coal companies well at the
price it was mined before the war, and
the present charge is an imposition. But
just how to break this chain that the coal
mono poly has forged, it is not easy to see.

The trial of the milk dealers for VIC
lation of State law mentioned in THE
RECORD of last week. came off before JUS
tice Kitchin on Thursday last. Judg-
ment WIS entered against each one for
the full State penalty-$60.
Justice Kitchin has furnished us with
the following article, in reference to the
milk laws, which will be found of interest
to our req 1ers:
The Newark Board of Health, in their
report, point out the nee sssity of requir-
ing milk not only to contain twelve per
cent. of solids, but of this twelve per
cent. three per cent. should be fat. This
not being required, all of the dealers in
this article whose intention it is to prac-
tice fraud, have made themselves familiar
with the workings of the lactometer, and
while the milk as it comes from the COW
will register high (from ITO to 115), and
show by analysis from thirteen to four
teen per cent. of milk solids, water is add
ed until the lactometer registers down to
100, in which case an analysis will show
the required twelve per cent. of solids,
but in the majority Of cases less than
three per cent. Of fat. Another method
practiced is to supply what is called s'half
milk, prepared as follows: The evening
milk is allowed to stand over night, when
the cream is removed; the morning milk
is then added to the skinned article with
out being tempered with. The result is
that an article is obtained which under
most circumstances will analyse up to the
required twelve per cent. of solids, less
the three per cent. Of fat, while the deal
or has quantity of cream for which he
receives high price. II the three per
cent. Of fat should be absolutely req uired,
the dealers being unable to ascer In this
| point, and being In fear Of prosecution,
would cease to practice these Dr. ,eptions
Another point to be mentioned is the
condition of the stables ia which COWS are
housed. In a large majority of cases
these stables are totally inadequate for
the use to which they are put. They are
overcrowded; the floors admit of soakage
and the ground beneath is saturated TO a
considerable depth with liquid filth.
The sanitary treatment of COWS, In this
respect as well as othsrs, has scarcely be-
gun to be appreciated by legislators or
health officers. Their almost universally
filthy and unventilated quarters would
naturally emit plaques upon the commu-
nifty that are probably not half suspected,
as to either their variety or their destruc-
tiveness.
